Cuckoo Clock

We knew it must have been late

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

We had no time to wait

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I went to light the fireplace

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I planned it all this way, and

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I snuggled close to her

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

Her heart began to purr

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I held my breath inside, and then

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I put my arms around her

(Tick-tock)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo

I put that birdie away

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

His cuckoo was gone to stay

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

We both apologized for why

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

Forgave that doggone cuckoo

I went back to her side

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I had to swallow my pride

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

The fire had almost died away

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

We just got situated

(Tick-tock)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo

I took that clock apart

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

I broke the cuckoo's heart

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

He'll never bother us again

(Tick-tock, tick-tock)

We just forgot about him

(Tick-tock)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)

Cuckoo, cuckoo
